It proposes giving a full amnesty not just to the relatively narrow category of DACA recipients (roughly 700,000 people) but to the broader population of so-called DREAMers, possibly covering a couple of million people.
On top of this, it would give a version of amnesty to the parents of the DREAMers. This would make a travesty of the original rationale for the DREAM Act.

It was supposed to cover illegal immigrants brought here at a young age through no fault of their own now we are talking about an amnesty for the adults who knowingly defied our laws.

The proposed deal’s changes in chain migration are minor and affect only the population getting the amnesty. The visa lottery would simply be transferred over to cover beneficiaries of so-called Temporary Protected Status, who were allowed to stay here temporarily when their home countries were hit by natural disasters.

This proposed provision honors the Washington establishment’s cardinal rule on immigration never permit a diminution, no matter how small, in the number of legal immigrants coming here. Meanwhile, the spending on border security would be a relative pittance.

Former President Barack Obama resurfaced on Friday and took a shot at Fox News viewers, saying they’re “living on a different planet” than people who consume mainstream media.

Obama made the remarks on the premiere of the new monthly Netflix series “My next guest needs no introduction with David Letterman,” which hit the streaming service on Friday morning. Early in the episode, Obama asked Letterman about his retirement but the veteran talk show host quickly let the former president know who was boss.

“Now here’s how this is gonna work. I’m gonna ask you stuff, and then you respond to stuff,” Letterman joked.

Letterman then asked Obama what he considers the more dangerous threat to a democracy, the president demeaning the press or a foreign power sabotaging the voting process. Both options are clearly jabs at President Trump and Obama answered without mentioning the current president’s name.

“One of the biggest challenges we have to our democracy is the degree to which we don’t share a common baseline of facts,” Obama said. "If you watch Fox News, you are living on a different planet than you are if you are listening to NPR.”

It was just after President Trump had finished railing in the Oval Office against African immigrants he said came from “shithole countries” when a senior Republican senator, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, who was there to negotiate a deal on immigration, spoke up.

“America is an idea, not a race,” Mr. Graham said, according to three people familiar with the exchange on Thursday. Diversity was a strength, he said, not a weakness. And by the way, the senator added, he himself was a descendant of immigrants who came to the United States from “shithole countries with no skills.”

Yeah, America is an idea, but an idea created by and exclusively for white people. If America is “only” an idea, then why have other races never had ideas like that? What prevented them? Ideas are immaterial, so please don’t say poverty prevented them. Liberia was given to blacks, complete with an equivalent of the US Constitution and lots of social welfare, and look what a shithole it is, always was and always will be. Miss Lindsay, the disgrace of South Carolina should better keep his filthy mouth shut. We know that he is a despicable globalist-tool and a chinless wonder. Was there ever a more punchable mug than his?

Interestingly enough… I haven’t read anywhere that anyone but Durbin said he said it and I have read no where were Graham said that he said it… But I do have a pretty good idea after listening to the televised portion that the democrats found themselves in a bind over what was meant by ‘dealing with DACA’ and ‘Comprehensive Immigration Reform’ when Trump repeatedly coupled security with DACA… Dem’s needed a distraction… So, no I don’t think that we can conclusively declare the title wrong…

So we’re finally going to acknowledge that the president did in fact utter his vile racist agenda

Where the hell did you find that " fact " shrug FACT FACT
So when the democrats referred to the same Countries as hellholes when the talk of deporting them back , why wasn’t there an uproar then ?? quack ,quack . How many deportations did your hero Obama make in his 8 years ? WAS he referred to as the "deported in Chief " by illegals ? It is high time we get rid of all these illegal programs DACA , DAPA , etc. and deport ALL their asses back to their shithole Countries !!!

Would include chain migration up to 23 additional relatives ,cousins , uncles , grandparents… WTF !
With us being burdened with 23 million illegals , it would NOT be long before that number hit 70 million !!!
